A doctor attending Donald Trump's campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, saved the life of a bystander who was wounded after an assailant attempted to assassinate the former president.
A video revealed a physician attending a Donald Trump rally saved the life of a bystander.
Conservative influencers Keith and Kevin Hodge shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, a video of a doctor revealing he was able to save the injured attendee. The influencers declared, "Donald Trump was saved by God today."
"I heard the shots, but I thought it was firecrackers to begin with. Somebody over there was saying 'he's been shot, he's been shot,' so I made my way over," the gentleman said in a video the twins uploaded to the social media app. "I said 'I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you.' The guy had spun around and was jammed between the benches. He had a head shot here. There was lots of blood, and he had brain matter. I got him and people there were really helpful. I did CPR and chest compressions."

Joseph Meyn — who witnessed the hit attempt — told CNN that the audience was initially confused by the gunshots.
"One half of the crowd on the far end of the rally thought it was some type of weird joke, the other half of the crowd knew it wasn’t, and was trying to push or impress upon the rest of the crowd that this is serious," he revealed. "I think everyone got the idea of — very quickly — that it was a dangerous situation, and everyone just started hitting the deck."
